Greenhouse policy architectures and institutions
(MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 1996-11)
This paper discusses the design of efficient environmental policies in general and reviews omissions and shortcomings of the presentation of the economic dimensions of climate change in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate ...
Beyond emissions paths : rethinking the climate impacts of emissions protocols in an uncertain world
(MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 1997-11)
Necessary conditions for stabilization agreements
(MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 1997-10)
The Climate Convention calls for stabilization of atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases. This paper considers the issues that must be faced in formulating a plan to meet any such target, using a proposed CO2 level ...
Analysis of CO₂ emissions from fossil fuel in Korea : 1961-1994
(MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 1997-11)
Annex I differentiation proposals : implications for welfare, equity and policy
(MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 1997-10)
Drawing upon a variety of different criteria, many nations have introduced proposals to differentiate the reductions in carbon emissions that would be required of industrialized nations in the short to medium term. This ...
Interactions among emissions, atmospheric chemistry, and climate change : implications for future trends
(MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 1997-09)
Needed : a realistic strategy for global warming
(MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 1997-08)
Through a brief look at the science and economics of climate, the authors show that if climate change turns out to be a serious threat, an effective response will require a substantial and very long-term global effort. ...
Changes in sea-level associated with modifications on the mass balance of the Greenland and Antartic ice sheets over the 21st century
(MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 1999-10)
Changes in runoff from Greenland and Antarctica are often cited as one of the major concerns linked to anthropogenic changes in climate. The changes in mass balance, and associated changes in sea-level, of these two ice ...
Developing country effects of Kyoto-type emissions restrictions
(MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 1999-10)
Economic links among countries, through trade, will cause the effects of greenhouse-gas control measures taken by one set of nations to ripple through the international trade system, affecting countries that may not have ...
Interactive chemistry and climate models in global change studies
(MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 1999-09)
Continually increasing atmospheric concentrations of radiatively important chemical species such as CO2, CH4, N2O, tropospheric O3, and certain halocarbons most likely will cause future climate changes, which could in turn ...
